Traffic and Transport

In order to retain as much as possible of the original character of St John's Wood, the Society is constantly concerned with the impact of traffic. It is continually seeking to improve the safety of pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists – but realises that inevitably, at various key points within the area, there is a conflict between the interest of local residents and the interests of road users.

There have been many suggestions by members over the past few years – in particular in regard to the introduction, and phasing, of traffic lights. These suggestions are taken up with Westminster City Council. Parking is a perennial problem, and there are concerns over the balance of parking meters and the availability of residential spaces. The question of street signage is another matter of concern.

As far as transportation is concerned, the Society welcomes the general improvement in bus and tube services over the last few years, and liaises with Transport for London on behalf of the local residents.

Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
